The Love that Created Our Hate?

I was just recently treated to a discussion with 15 white males, ages 15 to 65 and the gall of Euro-Americans is truly eye opening to the uneducated. According to these young and old white males, African-Americans need to thank whites for all that they have done for us.

You may be wondering, just as I am, what do you we need to thank them for? Well, we need to thank them for according to this group, our social advancement and educational opportunities versus those of everyday Africans on the continent of Africa. We need to thank them for providing us with work ethic, medical care, financial choices, etc.

This discussion brings into light how whites, more specifically white males, view their place and our place in the schemes of things. White males feel that they are on a deity level, while we are on the level of mere heathens. White males can never see how their love of us, has created the hate around the world for their race. It is through their arrogant attitude that they make others hate them.

It is this same arrogant attitude of the white male and whites in general, that makes it impossible for whites to truly want to allow us to grow business, truly educate ourselves and our children, and to finally break the slave master and slave mentality that is rampant among our people.

White arrogance and their “love” of non-whites spells trouble for us worldwide. Even to this day it is white arrogance and “love” that prevents them from acknowledging that chattel slavery was even wrong. They will never admit that we built this country that they stole from the Native Americans.

Just think about it.
